Walk this Way — Start a Walking Club

Physical Activity Participation

Our Fuel Up to Play 60 team started a Walking Club Monday mornings before school to get our students moving and start off the day in a healthy way. Students sign in and walk until the bell rings. Students will receive a necklace and get a foot charm for each mile walked. We will have bigger incentives as the miles add up and we hope to invite families to join us!

How did students and adults work together as a team?

We made signs advertising the club and all helped sign students in and mark laps.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

We hope to get funding for incentives and come up with other fun ways to encourage students to join us.
